Summary

For as long as the Billboard charts have existed, chart accreditation has been a tricky thing. The question of who gets listed as what on a Billboard chart entry can come down to a matter of industry politics, label or artist demands and/or sheer form-filling drudgery. As a result, there are times when the credits can end up reading as redundant, insufficient or straight-up inaccurate. And in the most extreme cases, sometimes an artist can get credited on a song where they didn’t actually do anything on the recording.
